The Challenge | Orbital Scrap Metal — The Video Game
Nuts, bolts, spent rocket stages, and broken pieces of satellites orbiting Earth are just a few of the many thousands of items known as orbital debris, or space junk. Your challenge is to create an orbital debris collection videogame web-app! You may build upon NASA’s Spacebirds and real data.

The idea of this game is to highlight the amount of junk there is floating in space and the dangers it poses to future space missions. In this game you collect junk from destroyed satellites.
We developed the game using the block editing programming language snap! (a more advanced version of scratch)
We used the data from the nasa space birds site - https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/spacebirds/ and the eesa website - https://www.esa.int/Safety_Security/Space_Debris/About_space_debris
